2009 USTA Adult Men III

July 4th, 2009

Hey Tennis Friends!

Up to this point, in my USTA League reports, I usually show the clips of me and/or my partner making our winners, etc.

I thought that I would change it up a little this time, and include some of the humbling shots that I may not be so proud of, but are also a more realistic illustration of what happens during the match . . .

Of course, I had to add a couple of decent plays, as well, just to save face . . .

I’ll see you next time, with more tennis, . . . outside the lines!

2009 USTA Adult Men II

June 27th, 2009

Hey Tennis Friends!

It’s my first match, playing up, for the 4.0 team. I signed up for this team through my connections with a couple of my social tennis friends.

In the first segment of this video, I thought that it would be better to do the pre-match interview in the shade of the windscreen on the court. Unfortunately, it just put an awful striped shadow across our faces that I didn’t notice, until it was time to edit the clips together.

Note to self: Don’t do that again . . .

I’ll see you next time, with more tennis, . . . outside the lines!

2009 USTA Adult Men I

June 20th, 2009

Hey Tennis Friends!

It’s my first match of the season, and it’s with the 3.5 team. I had joined this team through the connections that I made during the mixed doubles season.

For this match I have been designated to play doubles.

The wind had kicked up a little in the afternoon, and caused a bit of distortion to the audio at the end of the video.

I’ll see you next time, with more tennis, . . . outside the lines!

2009 Southern California Mixed Sectionals II

June 13th, 2009

Hey Tennis Friends!

With all of the different levels involved (6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0), I couldn’t possibly cover them all, so I focused on the 8.0 division for finals day.

Congratulations to the winning team!
